The Ruling on Encroaching on the Blood, Wealth, and Honor of the Innocent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to another question. The questioner says: What is the ruling on the blood, wealth, and honor of the innocent, which some people may be lax about, those whose ideas have deviated and who have strayed from the Islamic message?
Answer:
Our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in his sermon at 'Arafah, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him:Sahih al-Bukhari 1739 Have I not conveyed the message? They said: We bear witness that you have conveyed it. He said: O Allah, bear witness.
This is what is obligatory for us: to be one community upon the truth, to listen and obey our ruler in what is right, and to show compassion among ourselves. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he does not abandon him, hand him over, or look down on him. It is enough of a sin for a person to look down on his Muslim brother. The blood, wealth, and honor of every Muslim are forbidden to every other Muslim. This is what is obligatory for us in every time and place. If we hold fast to this, no one will harm us, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.

Answer:
Our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in his sermon at 'Arafah, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him:
No doubt! Your blood, your properties, and your honor are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this (sacred) town (Mecca) of yours, in this month of yours.
إن دماءكم وأموالكم وأعراضكم عليكم حرام كحرمة يومكم هذا في بلدكم هذا في شهركم هذاThis is what is obligatory for us: to be one community upon the truth, to listen and obey our ruler in what is right, and to show compassion among ourselves.
